Fishing is getting better and better by the day, offshore the sailfish, tunas, kingfish and wahoos are starting to move in and there's still a couple mahis around here and there.
The reef and wrecks had been very active with all kinds of snappers, groupers, mackerels, yellowjacks and more.
The Bay is also a good choice when the ocean waters are a little choppy, back there the Spanish mackerels are very think, some mangrove and lane snappers and a few cobias are staring to show up.
Fishing should keep on getting better as the next few cold fronts move through the keys.

Reported: 5 days ago

King fish are in thick offshore. Great time of year for multi species bottom fishing. Caught everything from triggerfish to scamp grouper not too far offshore. Inshore, snook and bull reds are in and when you get the tide right you have the chance for a fish of a lifetime.

Fall Fishing is my absolute favorite time of year here in the Upper Keys. Fishing is very productive from the Everglades to the flats of Islamorada as we have beautiful sunny 75 degree bluebird days.

Summer time is in full swing and, for us that men's calmer seas, and beautiful clear water to fish. Reef and wreck has been a bit of a challenge with warmer water temps bringing in more shark activity, some days have been tougher than others but we still managed to put some nice boxes together of yellowtail, and more Offshore bite has been decent with a very consistent almaco jack and amber jack bite. Mahi have been a bit a of a roller coaster with some strong weeks early on and a few tough days in between to find quality fish. On tough Mahi days the tuna have been great on vertical jigs and live bait, and also had some great deep drop opportunities for vermillion and more.
